Poe 1962, Pt. 3

Thorpe & Porter was an English publisher who licensed Gilberton's immensely-successful CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED. Aside from doing UK editions of the US stories, they also on occasion published issues that were NEW for their
run of the series, which had never been published in America! Which
brings us to this rather obscure comic...

The artist is Mick Anglo, who's most well-known as the creator of "Marvelman", the single most popular and successful superhero ever published in England. His art is a bit "stiff", and reminds me of quite a few comics artists from, the 1980s, but he serves the story well enough.

A special thanks to fellow fan Don Bearden, without whom I might never have heard about this book.
